Chris Phillips, the 50ish blond haired sort of rocker is letting the Vintage back out. The big band and show music that my generation loves. Using the name of Zowie Bowie, Chris is known for his Red Rock residency, appearances on the Third Street stage on Fremont Street, and other gigs around town in torn jeans and current music that would have some folks using earplugs.

The $15 ticket is well worth it to see a tuxedoed Chris backed by a ten piece band singing “Get me to the Church on Time” or “Who knows where or when” or - “This Could be the Start of Something Big”.
